The Klan Was the Natural Successor to the National British Citizenship League

During the First World War, Ivay [Exalted Cyclops of the Moose Jaw Klan] had been president of the National British Citizenship League. This group had been formed in Moose Jaw in March 1917 on a platform of English-only in the public schools. Its slogan was "One Flag, One School, One Tongue," and the goal was to keep Canada British and not to allow any concessions to non-British immigrants, who were expected to fit completely into the British mould. The Klan was the natural successor to the National British Citizenship League. The two organizations had similar agendas, and, to some extent, overlapping memberships.
